Vitamins are essential PREP NOW!
Vitamins are essential to the human body! Many Americans have deficiencies and don't even realize it. During an SHTF situation the deficiencies can get worse. Foods will be harder to come by the last never the situation goes on.
Here is a chart that I found on Pinterest that can give you more information:
Around my area vitamins go on sale BOGO all the time and combined with coupons I get amazing deals. I encourage you to pay attention to the sales ads and stock up when you can. I mainly store Vitamin C & D but I am starting to branch out to others.
I hope this posts gets ya thinking and researching vitamins and your body.
BE SMART BE PREPARED BE READY
Upvoted and Resteemed. I think vitamins are a very overlooked and underprepped item that many people do not think to stock up enough on. When the SHTF there will be many foods no longer available and without the vitamins and minerals people will become nutrient deficient. - I am here to help preppers by upvoting and resteeming survival, preparedness, and sustainable living content.

Ok great will do thanks 👍🏻
Awesome post @mylilhomestead! This is one of the areas that people fail to prepare for and it can make such a huge difference. In a long term shtf situation, pregnant women will need them for sure!
Which vitamin deficiency is the most common worldwide?
Iron deficiency is the most common and widespread nutritional disorder in the world. As well as affecting a large number of children and women in developing countries, it is the only nutrient deficiency which is also significantly prevalent in Industrialized Countries.
I couldn't tell you! But in America it's Potassium!

Thank you!
Following back.
Very important point! In a SHTF scenario, where food is scarce or perhaps of poor quality, having vitamin/mineral supplements will be extremely important, maybe even life-saving. Consider 'superfoods' like spirulina, chlorella, or wheatgrass too which are available in tablet or powder forms.
